Haedt, La Von R.
La Von R Haedt 1912 ~ 2005 La Von R Haedt, age 92, passed away January 20,
2005 with her husband at her side. She was born April 22, 1912 to J. Earl and
Minnie Rytting. She grew up in the Liberty Park area of Salt Lake and
graduated from East High School. She worked as an executive secretary at
Ingersoll Rand company until her marriage to Robert V Haedt Jr June 20, 1942.
Their never faltering love flourished for almost 63 years. She kept and
cherished a love letter to her, dated May 1, 1942, which said, in part, "All I
can say is that I love you- over and over- a thousand times or more- for that
is what really matters." They met as members of the Wasatch Mountain Club as
novice skiers and both shared the love of the mountains and skiing prompting a
move to Park City in 1983. In 1965 she started a gift store, La Boutique which
later became GREAT GARB which she ran, with her son Bob, in Salt Lake and Park
City until a stroke forced her to retire late 1999. She was always active;
skiing, tennis, golf, and entertaining. Her recipes were always in demand.
They loved to travel evident by the 15 cruises they took to the Tropics,
Europe, and South America. Two brothers, Edward and Robert; and a sister,
June, preceded her in death. She is survived by her husband; sons, Robert and

Jones M.D., Robert E.
Robert E. Jones, M.D. 1922 ~ 2005 Robert E. Jones, M.D., prominent Salt Lake
City physician, died January 21, 2005 of causes related to cancer. He was born
October 11, 1922 in Hiawatha, Utah to William Bell and Sylvia Alta Jones. The
absence of his dry wit and contagious laughter creates a void no other can
fill. Bob graduated from Carbon High School in 1939 and from the University of
Utah in 1943. Although offered a scholarship to the Juilliard School of Music,
Bob instead chose to follow in the footsteps of his older brother, Jack, and
received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School
in 1946. During medical school, Bob joined the U.S. Army and following
graduation served as an army doctor at Valley Forge General Hospital, from
1948 to 1949. He decided against an army career when he discovered argyle
socks were not standard issue. Following completion of his internship at
Graduate Hospital in Philadelphia and a residency at Delaware Hospital in
Wilmington, Delaware, Bob returned to Salt Lake City in 1952 to begin private
practice. He practiced internal medicine more than 42 years and was affiliated
with Salt Lake Regional Medical Center (formerly Holy Cross Hospital). Bob
enjoyed traveling, tending his beautiful flower gardens, collecting and
creating works of art (he especially enjoyed working with stained glass), Jazz
basketball, and professional tennis. Above all, however, he enjoyed practicing
medicine. Helping the sick was never considered work - it was his privilege.
Bob was the embodiment of a dedicated, selfless, caring generation of
physicians. The lives he saved are many; the lives he touched immeasurable.
Bob is survived by his sister-in-law, Sarah Anne Jones; nieces, Linda Oswald
(Fred), Cynthia Jones, M.D. (Steve Prather, M.D.); nephew, David Jones; his
devoted friend and long-time assistant, Sandra McDonald; and loving friend and
companion, Dorothy Woolf. Preceded in death by his parents; and brothers,
Frank Jones, who died in infancy, and William Jack Jones, M.D. Sincere
gratitude is offered to Bob's wonderful neighbors and friends, to the hospice
nurses and to Margaret Hecht, M.D., for their generous gifts of love, care and
support. Bob will be deeply missed by family, colleagues, friends, and former
patients. All who loved him are invited to a celebration of this remarkable
man's life, followed by a luncheon Sunday, January 30, 2005, 12 noon at the
Salt Lake Country Club, 2400 East Country Club Drive. In lieu of flowers, the
family suggests donations to the charity of your choice.

Steele, Harold James
Harold James Steele "A Noble Gentleman" On January 24, 2005, Harold died of
natural causes at the age of 93. Born to James Hardy and Elizabeth Sumner
Steele on Dec. 23, 1911 in Rigby, Idaho, raised in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Harold
graduated from Rice Institute and completed his graduate work at the
University of Texas (Houston). After graduation, he accepted a job in
Washington, D.C. with the Federal Housing Administration. Harold was highly
respected in both the business and social communities. He was President and a
Director of First Security Bank; Vice President and Director of First Security
Corporation; Member of Investment & Policy Committees, Executive Board of
First Security Corporation. He also served as President of the Utah Bankers
Association, President of the Clearing House Association; President of the
Alta Club, President of The Utah Symphony; President of the Salt Lake Chapter
of the American Red Cross; Chairman of Ballet West Board, Chairman of St.
Mark's Hospital Board; Chairman of the Marriner S. Eccles Foundation; Director
of the following: Anderson Lumber Company, Alta Industries, Christiansen
Diamond Company, St. Mark's - Rowland Hall School, YWCA, and the Salt Lake
Chamber of Commerce. In 1970, Harold was elected to serve on the International
Board of IBANCO, the parent Board over all international banks issuing Bank
Americard - now Visa Card. In 1985 Harold was honored by the Utah Arthritis
Foundation as their "Man of the Year". He was presented this honor by former
first lady, Betty Ford. During his retirement years, he and his wife,
Eleanore, lived both in Indian Wells, California and Salt Lake City. He served
as a director of The Eldorado Country Club, as well as The Salt Lake Country
Club. Harold was also a member of the Desert Island Country Club (Rancho
Mirage, CA), Flat Rock Fishing Club (Idaho), New State Hunting Club, and the
Teton Valley Lodge (Idaho). To reduce the magic of Harold's life to his
extensive list of business and social accomplishments seems incomplete, since
such accomplishments, although important in their works, are only parts of his
true life's achievements. We will miss the twinkle in Harold's eye, his
unending curiosity and the genuine interest he had for everyone he met. Lucky
were the many who experienced Harold's charm and wit, especially at dinner
parties or the many social functions he attended. A noble gentleman always, we
will remember Harold for the ready smile on his face and the love and kindness
in his heart. The full balance of his life was celebrated with his wife
Eleanore Eccles, who he married on September 1, 1937. Together they raised a
family, traveled extensively, played lots of golf, entertained and enjoyed 67
very good years together. Harold is survived by his wife, Eleanore and his
three children; James M. Steele (Linda Wolcott), Sharon Steele-McGee
(Stephen), Robin Steele Palmer (Kent); four grandchildren; Stephanie R.
Steele, J. Michael Steele, Anna Palmer, Maysie Palmer and one
great-grandchild, Ashton Jones. The family would like to thank the team of
care-givers who have so lovingly attended both Harold and El, as well as the
many doctors, nurses and administrators at the University of Utah Hospital. A
family graveside service will be held Saturday, January 29, 2005 at noon at
Larkin Sunset Chapel, 2350 East 1300 South. A Celebration of Life will be held
at The Country Club, 2400 Country Club Dr. from 1:00-3:00 p.m. All who knew
Harold and wish to share in remembering him are invited to join the family at
The Country Club. In lieu of flowers, please send a donation to the charity of
your choice.
